Toyota has set up a dedicated robotics department, as the Japanese carmaker joins other major companies in developing the technology, Bloomberg reports.
Why it mattersThe report gives no further detail on the unit’s remit, projects or timetable. Still, creating a dedicated department is a useful sign that robotics has a place in Toyota’s technology plans, not just on the factory floor.
Discuss: Should carmakers build robotics teams in-house, or partner with specialist robotics firms instead?
